Psychic Readings by Kathleen

October first was a very special day for me.  I celebrated a bountiful and luscious harvest of my own.  October first marked the culmination of a formidable piece of work I began and completed more than ten years ago.  My unpublished dream dictionary is now available online.  To see my old/new dream dictionary [1] click here

I started guiding dream classes/groups in 1991 in Victoria, B.C. Over the past year I have again been having increasing and persistent urges to launch yet another dream group which began two weeks ago.  It’s challenging to explain what exactly happens in a dream study group because each one has been as unique as the individuals present.  The spirit/unconsious of each participant soon dances into a sympatico vibration with the others present, and this process sets off a life-altering transformation that has the power to heal and enliven your soul’s journey to enlightenment with heightened awareness.  A worthwhile and ambitious pursuit.

I had been studying the works on dreams by Jung, Noble, Hall, Taylor along with many others from 1985 - 1991 and had completed an M.A. at Laurier in Religion & Culture with a focus on the writings of Jung.  One spring morning I was jolted awake but a voice interjected into my consciousness before I could open my eyes.  It was a woman’s voice saying directly, “teach people about dreams”. Whoever that was had very likely been with me for some time prior.  At 9 AM that morning I called the continuing education department at Camosun College and offered to faciltate a dream group.  They promptly embraced the offer and within three months of the awakening I was teaching a small, eclectic group how to understand and work with their dream material.

I spent most of 1998 writing a dream dictionary that I thought the genre was sadly missing.  A dream translation book that would direct the dreamer/interpeter home to their own insight regarding their dream symbol.  There are symbols that constellate collective associations but in more abundance in our dreams are symbols to which we have a personal and significant association.  These symbols will typically make appearances throughout the course of our dreaming life.

When the hard copy [2] Dream Dictionary  was printed in October 1999 only twenty copies were given to students and I shelved the project for the next 10 years.  Until June of this year when the seeds to launch it on the internet were planted. With my web master’s prompting and support we spent four months building the site.

The other aspect of this online dream dictionary which is equally exciting is that it also features my life partner’s, Erich Rock, art work.  Erich has been a keen supporter of my work for twenty years and it’s exciting for us to put our respective gifts together in this dream site.  Many of you have seen his creations around my home and office if you’ve been to see me in person.  I’m heartened now that others will have an opportunity to appreciate his artistic expressions.  Erich’s work is archetypal, and thereby psyche-penetrating complementing and highlighting the force of nature to which dreams also manifest.  To view Erich’s whole collection [3] click here
Registrations for 6 Week Introduction to the January Tarot Class

I am now accepting registrations for the Introduction to the Tarot class beginning Thursday January 14, 2010 7 - 9 PM at the Kitchener Downtown Community Centre. Cost $179 - a $100 nonrefundable deposit will secure your place.  In the Introduction I introduce keys to aid you in the memorization of the cards’ meanings.  We also explore the various theoretical background to the cards: her/history, psychology and their spiritual significance.  The Intermediate to the Tarot will follow the Introduction for students wishing to learn how to read the cards for others.

Quote:

“According to Tantric teachings, it is by learning to prolong this “intermediate state” and to operate with full awareness within it that you achieve dream mastery and, beyond this, the highest level of consciousness attainable for an embodied human. The Spandakarika of Vasagupta, which dates from teh tenth century, recommends the use of breathing exercises to focus and maintain awareness as you move from waking into the twilight state The dreamer is urged to place himself “at the junction between inhaled and exhaled breaths, at the very point where she enters into contract with energy in the pure state.” This is the entry into conscious dreaming, whose gifts (according to the Tantric text) could be immense:  ”The Lord of necessity grants him during dreams the ends he pursues, providing that he is profoundly contemplative and places himself at the junction between waking and sleeping.”  The aim of the practice is to achieve continuity of consciousness through sleeping, waking, and the intermediate state. When this is attained, the practitioner has ascended to the mystical Fourth State- the turiya of the Upanishads.  This is the highly evolved consciousness of a person who has awakened to the reality of the SELF;  it now infuses his awareness at all times.”
